Problem with vlc play back sound on Ubuntu

After upgrading my laptop to Ubuntu 8.04 (via a re-install), I noticed the sound on my vlc play back did not work. Usually I would have to logout and log back in to get it to work. At one point I got tired of doing this (it didn't take much) and decided to investigate the issue.

Looks like the problem is related to the playback system. You might notice that this problem only occurs when another program (like Firefox or a player) is open.
